2024. I’m still in awe, quite frankly, that I made it here. (That’s me, last week, during a hike near Mt. Whitney). 2023 ranks among my least favorite years. What with it trying so ferociously, several times, to end me and all. You know: the multi-month exhausting COVID pneumonia that carried over from Thanksgiving 2022,...

Infertility and childless folks are all around us, but we rarely get the opportunity to capture the spotlight or celebrate reunions and anniversaries.  Before I get into a powerful in-person reunion, first up is a giveaway you want won’t to miss. Longtime bloggers from LifeWithoutBaby contacted me. Indeed, Kismet!  Their email led to several other... The post Infertility and Childless Reunions appeared first on Silent Sorority ..read more

Typically, if you want to empty a room, simply say,  “infertility.” It works like a charm. Trust me. Infertility realities, long time blog readers know, once dominated my waking and sleeping. Those who have walked in my shoes know well that infertility initially rips through your mind like a meteor. What was that? I might...

Anything You Lose. That’s the name of a timely documentary that puts infertility in the spotlight. This film opens minds and generates discussion. Furthermore, it’s earning awards of excellence and will have its North American premier in Los Angeles on Saturday, Oct. 7. Chalk it up to kismet or mercury retrograde, but I reconnected recently...

In Limbo Once Again: Long COVID This Time
Silent Sorority Blog
by Pamela Tsigdinos
1y ago
Limbo land looms large once again. I am well versed in limbo’s hellacious characteristics. Interminable waiting. Worry-laden uncertainty. Chronic misunderstanding. Costly and inconclusive medical care. Maddening second guessing. And the wild card? No one day remotely resembles any before or after, which makes planning impossible. Sound familiar, long-time readers and fellow graduates of Infertility School... The post In Limbo Once Again: Long COVID This Time appeared first on Silent Sorority ..read more

Permission to Feel Emotions Deeply
Silent Sorority Blog
by Pamela Tsigdinos
1y ago
Permission is a tricky thing. We frequently, readily provide it to others but deny it to ourselves. That’s often because allowing ourselves freely to engage in activities such as sitting with our emotions can seem self-indulgent. But, in reality, it can be self-affirming. Reader Writes About Permission Denied It’s always gratifying to hear from new... The post Permission to Feel Emotions Deeply appeared first on Silent Sorority ..read more

Covid 19’s impact on asthmatics is, in a word, awful.  I’m now three weeks (and on day 15 of self-isolation) into a variety of medications and devices. All are aimed to fight back and rid my lungs of significant inflammation and tightness. Follow-on illnesses since contracting COVID over Thanksgiving? They include a prolonged asthma attack...

Jennifer Aniston grabbed headlines again this week. This time the news focus wasn’t solely on her newest streaming series, the launch of a new product or a new film. It was Jennifer’s admission that she’d endured failed IVF and the “shitty” aftermath. I’m not gonna lie. I’m glad Jennifer Aniston has come clean here in...

Empathy: The Glue That Holds Humanity Together
Silent Sorority Blog
by Pamela Tsigdinos
2y ago
There are few things harder than bearing witness to suffering, grief, or pain. When we hear someone’s sorrow in their breaking voice, our hearts clench. Tears fall. Empathy, the glue that holds humanity together, kicks in. Empathy causes us to ache. We cast about, sometimes helplessly, to find a way to bring some comfort. That’s...
